Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Brian McHugh:

No. The grocery goods regulations, which we touched on, have been revoked. We have engaged with the new office and continue to do so in terms of what we learned about the sector. As we are all aware, the new body has a much wider set of responsibility regarding UTPs. Some lessons that we learned particularly from an operational point of view, will be relevant to the new body and it is important that we pass them on.
